$25 for 5 samples. The tasting room is kind of a weird setup with one long communal table. Service was great! Friendly staff. read more

I really enjoyed our visit here this summer. The wines were good, the atmosphere was really chill and the staff members were friendly and inviting. They have a wide variety of wines to choose from, so everyone in our group got to try something they enjoyed. Our favorites were the roses, which was perfect for the summer day we went. The bottles felt a little pricey, but worth it for a great Hood River experience. read more

Three words. Blood Red Barbera. The best red I have ever tasted! So good, that I may be compelled to become a Club member just to have access to this elusive red and secure it at a significant discount! Located on Oak Street in downtown Hood River, I scheduled a tasting on a rainy Sunday. They came highly recommended from Stave & Stone across the street. A fan of Italian reds, I opted for the tasting of five reds, starting with a Tempranillo which was too light for my tastes. I enjoyed the Reserve Cabernet, really liked the Syrah and Nebbiolo, then fell in love with the Blood Red Barbera. Mic drop! Even though it was a five flight tasting, they offered me two additional tastes so I could do side by sides. Turned out I preferred the house Cab over the Reserve Cabernet that was offered in the flight. But my favorite - other than the Blood Red Barbera which is in a league of it's own - was the Syrah. It was fruit forward with peppery back notes, a fantastic wine to drink now. So good that I bought a bottle to enjoy with our Thanksgiving dinner. And since I purchased a bottle, the $15 tasting fee was waived. Now to that elusive Red Blood Barbara. One sip, and I wanted to buy a case! They had none available, so clearly I'm not the only one in love with their award winning wine. A fan of big and bold, the Blood Red was all that and more. Jammy without being too sweet, complex yet smooth enough to drink on its own; to sip while enjoying a charcuterie; or savor with a meal. As I said earlier, I may join the Club just to have access to this wine! The server, Erin, was energetic and just a delight. She is clearly passionate about the wine, offers her knowledge on the vineyard, the soil and their process and the the wines. I could tell that she enjoys watching others experience Cascade Cliff wines, especially if it's their first time. Zach came by at the end and offered another taste bringing the total tastes to 8, which was extremely generous. Since they are a boutique vineyard that doesn't distribute, the way to acquire customers is through tastings that lead to club membership. They have it nailed. Planning a visit to Wishram on the WA side of the Columbia River to experience their vineyard location and try their wines again. Their wines are pricy so I need to be sure I like many varieties before I commit to the Club, especially since I'm already a member at a few others. If you are a club member, tastings are free at all four of their locations And when you buy wine in addition to the release cases, they offer a substantial discount. read more

Every time I go in there I'm wowed by how good their wine is. And their people are always so nice. I love Cascade Cliffs Winery!

I can't say enough about Rachael at the downtown tasting room. We visited the winery in Washington, but we're staying in Hood River... We wine tasted samples from the tasting sheet, and decided on a case as it was the best way to go... When it came time to select from the tastings, we were told the price... * and then we were told that they don't have them??? It became a huge mess and left with wine we'd not tried, and without our case pricing??? *Next day we dropped by the Hood River tasting room. Rachael looked at the billing invoice and took care of the whole mess, gaining another, "New Member"! So professional, and such a pleasure, in every way. Rachael , Is the "Pearl in the Hood". *Thank you for making a bad situation, into an "over the top customer service experience" ! Can't say enough! Rachael, your professionalism, were above and beyond. See you next time Cheers read more

The service is absolutely worst service I've had for wine tasting. First they did not tell us what was going on or how many tasting came with the flight. We waited so long to get our first pour. The water was not brought until the second pour. We finally got our fourth pour and the bottle ran out and said she would be right back to give us the rest of our pour and started helping everyone else. The lady was supposed to come back with another glass of water which never ended up arriving. No one told us it was our final pour and we didn't even have someone loop back around to ask us if we wanted a glass or to buy a bottle. We were left for 40 min alone waiting to be helped and saw about 4 people get in and out before we even got our last pour. When I finally called someone over she was a little rude about it. I wouldn't recommend and I won't be back it was over the course of 3 hours to top it all off read more

This was our one wine tasting experience in the area I was disappointed with the wine for $25/tasting. My boyfriend and I stopped in to try the wine and finish our trip planning for the next day ... we were there at the same time as a group of 6 people couldn't hear each other talk. Service was also disappointing. read more

Beautiful setting. Truly nice people. Wine is good although way over priced. Why would I spend $70 on a Washington wine, when I can get the same if not better quality wines from anyplace else in the world? One can get exceptional wines from Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Spain, Etc for far less. The wine makers in the Pacific Northwest have a very inflated sense of their worth. read more

We loved the wine and Bailey in particular is amazing ! What a delight she is! We would come back in a minute!

First of all, poor reviewer am I because I took NO photos. Y'all I'm going to be super honest on this review. We had been at one vineyard for a barrel tasting from 12-1:30. We had a LOT of wine. And then went to another vineyard for 4 tastings (4 types of wine...4 glasses of tasting wine,) and ate snacks. Like crackers and cheese spreads, nuts, etc. so that was from 2-3 then we headed here. (Don't worry we had a ride no one drove. We couldn't have!) So, we were 4 tipsy ladies at this point. And the service we had at the second vineyard was awful. This was the complete OPPOSITE experience. Danielle and her team were THE most attentive, kindest, and fun. The tasting room was BUSY and full. There weren't any other spots so they definitely were slammed but we didn't get that experience. While they had 4 wines listed to taste, we had at least twice that many. But we were a mess. Giggling and unable to keep our attention on the wines and presentation. I lived the tea towel we found shopping the next day that said "I should really stop drinking" "Don't listen to her, she's drunk!" We owe CC tasting room another visit. When we have a full stomach and an empty wine reservoir in our tummy. We need to give honest reviews of the wines because the service and tasting room were wonderful. I don't remember being able to give honest perspective on the wines though so we 100% owe it to return. Thank you to the staff for dealing with us and for the hospitality. We will return NOT drunk and capable of doing an attentive tasting! read more

The person working didn't say anything other than what the name of the wine we were tasting, poured it and then she went back to flirting with the guy sitting behind us and talked and laughed with him the ENTIRE time we were there. We would've bought a bottle but our experience was horrible and we just wanted to leave as soon as we finished our $25 tasting. I wouldn't recommend this place for experience or service. read more

The wine is delicious and the pours are generous. our server, Rachel, was so friendly and knowledgeable. Added bonus that she is from our city! definitely worth a stop if in Hood River. read more

Went here on a hot Tuesday afternoon. The tasting room is cute and inviting with good seating options. It is conveniently located in the downtown area with ample street parking. We spent sometime here beating the heat and absolutely enjoyed our tasting experience thanks to Steven. He took good care of us and kept the pours coming(he also offered to open up new bottles). No complaints there because we love Cascade Cliffs wines. Would love to visit again. read more

Really nice tasting room in town! The wines were delicious, especially the Paisan! Zach was very helpful and knowledgeable even though he doesn't normally work in the tasting room. The only thing is I wish it were dog friendly, but my husband and I tag teamed a tasting while the other stayed with the dog outside. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I purchased a Groupon so one evening my wife and I stopped in and sampled 5 different wines, none of which proved particularly interesting. I was expecting to receive a cheese platter, but apparently that has been eliminated with a 5th glass of wine substituted. read more

Service is always amazing! Blood Red Barbera- the best! If you're visiting Hood River this is a must!

poor service, no food, we basically got kicked out because they needed our table at 3:30 pm and we got there at 2. They did not tell us what we were tasking and the wine was horrible. Do not recommend. read more

I've been to Cascade Cliffs 4 or 5 times now and have a wonderful experience every time. They have some really interesting, very delicious wine that you don't see a lot of in the area. My absolute favorite is their Blood Red Barbera, but good luck getting a bottle! If you come for a special event make sure to let the hostess know. We got a great discount on bottles the last time we went for someones birthday. read more

Cascade Cliffs is another beautiful setting on the Washington side of the Columbia River. The setting feels more rustic that its neighbor Jacob Williams and the wines share that same sentiment. We came when it was a bit busy but we were set up at a barrel close to the wine bar and were quickly poured our first glass of wine, a 2011 Nebbiolo. We settled in, introduced ourselves to Max (attention loving pooch) and soaked in the charm of one of the oldest wineries in the Columbia River Gorge. There were a couple of stellar wines that we were able to taste here. My favorite wine was the 2011 Tempranillo. As I mentioned before, the wines here match the rustic charm. If you have never had a Tempranillo, you can smell the rich almost leather like scent. This probably sounds quite odd but reality is this wine was exceptional. I bought a bottle for myself and at the advice of Jared, I will wait until 2015 before I allow myself to indulge. My final though for Cascade Cliffs is that I really appreciated them letting us taste more than what was on their tasting list. We sampled eight different wines (one was a barrel sample) and I walked away not just with a couple of bottles of wine but also seriously contemplating whether or not I am going to join their wine club. read more

You will drink wines here that are extremely rare in the NW. Their wine making is outstanding, I have known them for 12 years. You will always find a friendly face at their tasting rooms and I can assure you, you will be glad you came ! read more

we went in at 6:20 (checked the exact time as we left) for 2 tastings and was denied because they leave at 7, they walk out the door at 7 per the woman's words. She didn't even offer the tasting for us to be done by that time. Not good business. read more

I've never been here before, and honestly hadn't heard of it before walking by it, but I'm a new fan. Their reds are so friggin good, I can't wait to come back. Their Barberas, Tempranillos, Goat Head Red, all crazy good. Generous tastings & reasonable bottle price even for non-members. Super friendly staff. I'll be back. read more

We're members here because it's the best wine in the area. But let me tell you, come here when Amanda is working. Awesome vibe. Super service. Give that lady a raiiiseee. Excited to pick up my box in a couple of weeks :) read more

We stopped here on a road trip and had the most amazing customer service. The wines are exceptional, we were comped tastings for our group with a purchase of a bottle which is pretty standard and sometimes is unfortunate if you don't like anything but we loved everything we tasted. If you get a chance try the sangiovese, I have never tasted anything quite like it! read more

Danielle is the best! Let's be honest; a winery is a winery and you'll get a good glass of wine in most places you go. What separates Cascade Cliffs amongst all of the others is the wonderful service provided by Danielle. My wife and I have never had a more pleasurable experience. She is kind, fun, and willing to make a wine tasting extremely enjoyable. When wine tasting in Hood River make sure to stop at Cascade Cliffs, but before you do, call ahead to make sure Danielle is working a shift. read more

My favorite wine is their Barbera Blood Red. I get some for all special occasions and holidays! We even served it at our wedding. It is expensive, but worth it for those special moments. We used to do their wine club membership but stopped due to the variety of wines we received. Would definitely think about coming back. read more

We had the opportunity to visit the tasting room last week. We met an amazing young man who was running the tasting room named Mitchell. He made our tasting experience amazing! He was so knowledgeable and it was very obvious how much he enjoys being a part of the wine industry. We wish him all the best ! read more

My first time experience was a 10/10! I love the atmosphere, knowledge behind each wine, and the location! I highly recommend this tasting room gem to anyone who is either new to wine or wants the full on experience! If you are lucky enough to have Daniele as your server then treat her well! She can answer any question and is the best all around! read more

After spending two hours standup paddle boarding on the river, we needed to cool down with some good wine. A friend of ours purchased a Groupon for Cascade Cliffs, which included four wine tastings (of 5+ flights) and two cheese plates. All for $30. It sounds like they attract a lot of Portlanders with this Groupon, but it works, because I don't know that I would have checked out Cascade Cliff otherwise. Joni, our server, was pleasant. We learned that her brother owns the vineyard, so she was knowledgeable about the different grapes and blends. The inside was nice. They sell some different lotions at the front, and they have a jug of ice-cold water and glasses available. I really liked that they showcase their oldest (30-year-old) Merlot grapevine as decoration. While it was clean and cool inside, it was quiet, and I think the place could benefit from some soft background music. My favorite wine was the Paisian--a Sangiovese and Merlot blend. The cheese selection was tasty, but it wasn't labeled, so we didn't know what cheese we were enjoying. Overall, it was a nice afternoon pitstop. read more

it was my second winery and the first one in the area was just kind of bla, but when we went to Cascade cliff the winery was members only and the wine was delicious, really jumped off the hook right way. Deliciae was awesome very informative about the Wine . 5 star customer service. read more

We've only been to one other winery for a tasting so we didn't have much to compare to. However, the service was great! A little more personal than we expected but it was comfortable! We bought a groupon for 2 flights and a cheese platter for $10! The cheese was great and she even let us taste 2 extra wines! The bottles to buy for home were a bit spendy however. read more

Danielle was awesome! So knowledgeable and had us laughing the whole time! She was a blast and we were kinda sad to leave. Wish we could have taken her with us!

My wife and I came here on our honeymoon last weekend. The woman pouring wine was so friendly and gave us a lot of helpful recommendations for things to do in town. The wines were great -- especially the one done in the style of a Super Tuscan. After we finished tasting and bought a bottle, she surprised us with another bottle as a wedding gift! I'd definitely recommend this place for both the wine and friendliness. It's also right in downtown, making it an easy stop in your Hood River winery crawl. read more

Danielle is amazing. So knowledgeable, so fun. Walked in a whim and met great other people here. The reds are phenomenal esp the baberas. So in love with their wines and tasting room! Stop in! read more

I will put the good up front. The staff is very friendly and the wine we drank in the tasting room was very good. However, I don't recommend buying any bottles of wine from them. We bought six different bottles of wine and when we opened them at home they ranged from lackluster to horribly undrinkable. As if it were some kind of wine Russian Roulette. The Tempranillo I had at the shop was exceptional, but the Tempranillo I brought home could only be described as underwhelming. I had a taste of the Reserve Zinfandel and it was superb. The bottle of Reserve Zinfandel that I opened at home was pure vinegar. Ironically the least expensive bottle of wine, The Goats Head Red, was the best and it still ranked on the level of cheap supermarket wine. Hopefully they can get their quality control up to par because there is a marked difference from what was served in the shop to what was sold to me. read more

The employee conducting the testing ignored us and seemed to blow us off since we had our 18 month old with us. The other tasting rooms in the area were very welcoming much nicer than this one. She didn't explain anything to us. They also only offered 4 tastings for $15, where the others usually offered 6 for the same price. The wines were okay, but the experience was definitely below average. read more
